Unless I'm misunderstanding, I prefer my notes to have no hierarchy at all in relation to each other (is this what Sterling means by 'flat'?). Organization: Sterling describes the differences between relative and absolute hierarchy.This does have the downside of making them longer than necessary. Other than this, I organize my global macros contextually so that they can only appear in a specific context. Being generic is the price I pay to keep things consistent.

Local vs global macros: I currently don't face this problem as I try to keep super specialized notations at a minimum.

Thanks a lot for sharing! Theres a lot to unpack, but here are some immediate thoughts.

I don't even need to justify how useful it is to have atomic notes in math.Īnyways, just wanted to showcase how I use Obsidian, as I haven't found many other posts detailing how they take math notes in it.

Especially for theorems, whose proofs generally require a lot of other theorems which can be easily linked in a proved by-type link.

This also applies to other usages for Obsidian, but being able to reference other notes so easily is a game-changer.

If you know some bash scripting, this process can be done almost seamlessly (see my GitHub repository). This is detrimental for me, so I had to resort to making them separately in LaTeX then importing the svgs (converted from pdfs).

The one thing that MathJax is lacking is its support for TikZ.

Right: viewing mode, where the links are now in MathJax. Left: editing view, whose links are regular links. Details and usage are in the GitHub repository.Įxample of how MathLinks work. This can clutter your links, so I wrote a plugin, Obsidian MathLinks, that allows you to associate to each note a 'math link', which will be rendered in MathJax in every note that links to it.

Having a descriptive yet short title for, say, a theorem, is hard without math symbols.

For propostions/theorems, you might want to have a different set of 'types of links' ( proved by, specializations, generalizations, etc).

Not all mathematical objects might want to link to all of these, but they are nevertheless included in the document for consistency. justifications (function spaces are indeed sets, where I claimed that it is in the definition).equivalencies (function spaces are equivalenlty defined as a Cartesian product), and.sufficiencies (certain conditions that guarantee certain properties of functions, say 'criteria for equality of functions', or other set-theoretic stuff that guarantees the existence of a function.).properties (collection of all functions form a proper class),.generalizations (morphisms, relations, etc),.constructions (image, preimage, compositions, etc),.examples of functions (functions in a topological/metric space),.types of functions (injections, surjections, etc),.To illustrate, let's say you have a note called Function.md, which defines what a function is. Classify your links!! Mathematical objects tend to have certain 'types of links' to other things.

Now, even though MathJax does not have the full functionality of LaTeX, this is greatly remedied by the amazing Obsidian Extended MathJax plugin. Instant MathJax rendering!! I can't emphasize how nice this is, especially given the fact that it takes ~5 seconds to compile things in actual LaTeX.Heres some nice stuff you can do with Obsidian for note-taking in math. For more detail, you can check out my vault on GitHub, where the README.md contains much more information, my configurations, and some sample pages (and the graph, if you're interested). Instead of reiterating the benefits of using Obsidian (which can be found in almost every post lol), I'll just highlight how I personally use Obsidian for taking notes in math. Obsidian fixed those problems almost by design. I would have 1000 pdfs open for my various course notes when I need to reference them all.I would need to, for the completeness of my notes, redefine/reprove certain things in many different course notes. Branching and references are inevitable, and they can be annoying to navigate when, say, revising your notes. The (very) non-linear structure of mathematical definitions/theorems don't translate well into the linear structure of a pdf.I used to LaTeX my course notes into pdfs, which I think has several problems. I've been using Obsidian for my math course notes in university for over a year now, and it has truely revolutionized my note-taking process.
